Feeling much more... stable today.
Today makes nearly two weeks that have not heard from the UMF. V. unexpected result of Manifesto. Is eerily quiet on homefront, though do periodically receive insanity reports from sisters still living in the House the Crazy Built. Will be v. pleasantly surprised if sisters make it out of teens without needing lots of therapy. Am not going to be surprised when all of the siblings publish My Parents Were Crazy and This is How I Survived books before the decade is out.
Strange Party Conversation (having nothing to do with anything, but struck funny chord)
J: (Handing fish jacket, as was v. cold outside) Here, found it. Oh, and I brought you some pizza...
H: Oooh, thanks! (stifling yawn)
J: You gettin' tired? I think you need...another drink. Can I make you another one? Raspberry and sprite?
H: Yeah, sure... I'll let ya do that!
Boy #1: He's sure ass-whipped.
H: It's nothing like that. He just knows who the bitch is in the friendship, that's all.
Boy #1: Is that friendship in quotation marks?
H: No, and you're nosy.
Boy #2: I'm sure you have to do something to get him to wait on you like that...(grinning)
Boy #1: Yeah, heh heh.
H: No, I don't have to DO anything. He's not my fuck buddy.
Boy #3: Do you have one? A fuck buddy?
H: No. And I'm not currently taking applications.
J: (Returning with drink). Sorry, they're out of lime.
H: Don't be. Thanks so much. Should we go inside? It's cold out here. Assholes.
